'Specification of Letters Patent.

Application tiled September 2,' 1911. Serial No. 647,336.

To all whom it 'may concern.'

Be it known that I, HUGH J. RUSSELL,

va citizen ofthe United States, residing at Upland, in the county of. San Bernardino vand State of California, and whose post-office address is Upland, California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Liquid-Fuel Burners, of which the following is a. specification.

This invention relates to liquid fuel burners and has` for its object to provide a burner n which can readily b e attached to'and used in connection with the ordinary stove, furnace, stationary engine, locomotives and all places where heretofore various kinds of oils have been used lfor the production 'of 'llame or intense heat for any desired purose.

A further object is to provide a burner of the class described which is capable of discharging separate streams of oil and steam in position to becomeintermixed after leaving the burner.

With these and other objects in view which will be apparent as the description proceeds the invention consists of certain novel features of construction and combination of parts, hereinafter fully set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of the burner. Fig. 2 is a Fig. 3 is a rear view.

steam supply (not shown). The free end 13 l of the burner is provided with a horizontal slot 14 communicating with the'bore 8 and a diagonal slot 1G communicating with the bore 7. It will be noted that the slots 14 and 1G if extended would converge to a common point, but as more clearly shown in Fig. Q a thin wall 17 separates them at their outer ends. By virtue of this construction the oil and steam issue separately and do not combine until after being projected from the burner. Side plates 18 and 19 `secured to the sides of the burner by screws 20 and 21 serve the purpose of closing the open sides of the slots.

Briefly stated the operation of the burner is as follows: The pipe sections 11 and 1Q having been connected to a supply of oil and steam, the burner is partially inserted in the tire box of a stove etc., and the oil and steam forced therethrough under considerable pressure.,

Having thus described my invention, what .1 claim is:

An oil burner comprising a rectangular casting having an oil bore and a steam bore, ay flat, wide diagonal slot and a flat,.wide longitudinal4 slot communicating respectively' With vsaid bores, said slots converging toward each other, but each having a sep- I arate discharge outlet, removable side plates for closing the sides of said slots and means for supplying oll and steam to said burner.'

'In testimony whereof I have aflixcd my signature in presence of two witnesses.
